  • WINDOWS and DOORS Windows and Doors Are Necessary Features of All Residential Structures and Should Be Planned Carefully to Insu
    WINDOWS AND DOORS Windows and doors are necessary features of all residential structures and should be planned carefully to insure maximum contribution to the overall design and function of a structure. Windows and doors perform several functions in a residential structure, such as: shield an opening from the elements, add decoration, emphasize the overall design, provide light and ventilation, and expand visibility. DOORS Each door identified on the foundation plan and floor plan should appear on a door schedule. Specifications vary amongst manufacturer, so it is important to have exact information for the schedule. Interior Doors Interior door types include; flush, panel, bi-fold, sliding, pocket, double-action, accordion, Dutch, and French. Flush Doors • Smooth on both sides, usually made of wood and are hollow on the inside with a wood frame around the perimeter • Standard size is 1-3/8” thick, 6’8” high and range from 2’ – 3’ wide Panel Doors Most Common Door • Panel doors have a heavy frame around the outside and generally have cross members that form small panels • The vertical members are called stiles • The horizontal pieces are called rails Bi-Fold Doors • A bi-fold door is made of two parts that together form the door • Popular as closet doors and are seldom used for other applications • Installed in pairs with each door being the same width, which ranges from 1’ – 2’ • Standard height 6’8” – 8’ • Thickness of 1-1/8” for wood doors and 1” for metal Sliding Doors • Sliding or bi-pass doors are popular where there are large openings

  • Windows to the World - Doors to Space - a Reflection on the Psychology and Anthropology of Space Architecture
    Space: Science, Technology and the Arts (7th Workshop on Space and the Arts) 18-21 May 2004, ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Windows to the world - Doors to Space - a reflection on the psychology and anthropology of space architecture. Andreas Vogler, Architect(1), Jesper Jørgensen, Psychologist(2) (1)Architecture and Vision / SpaceArch Hohenstaufenstrasse 10, D-80801 MUNICH GERMANY andreas@architectureandvision.com, andreas@spacearch.com (2) SpaceArch c/o Kristian von Bengtson Prinsessegade 7A, st.tv DK - 1422 Copenhagen K, Denmark jesper@spacearch.com ABSTRACT Living in a confined environment as a space habitat is a strain on normal human life. Astronauts have to adapt to an environment characterized by restricted sensory stimulation and the lack of “key points” in normal human life: seasons, weather change, smell of nature, visual, audible and other normal sensory inputs which give us a fixation in time and place. Living in a confined environment with minimal external stimuli available, gives a strong pressure on group and individuals, leading to commonly experienced symptoms: tendency to depression, irritability and social tensions. It is known, that perception adapts to the environment. A person living in an environment with restricted sensory stimulation will adapt to this situation by giving more unconscious and conscious attention to the present sensory stimuli. Newest neurobiological research (neuroaestetics) shows that visual representations (like Art) have a remarkable impact in the brain, giving knowledge that these representations both function as usual information and as information on a higher symbolic level (Zeki). Therefore designing a space habitat must take into consideration the importance of design, not only in its functional role, but also as a combination of functionality, mental representation and its symbolic meaning, seen as a function of its anthropological meaning.

  • City of Glendale Window Replacement Information and Submittal Requirements General Information • Do Not Buy Or Install Any Windows Before You Get a Permit!
    City of Glendale Window Replacement Information and Submittal Requirements General Information • Do not buy or install any windows before you get a permit! • A building permit is required for all window replacements in Glendale at all types of buildings (residential, commercial, etc.). • Windows installed without a permit may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate windows. In addition, fees are doubled for work performed without permit. • The design of the windows you propose will be reviewed by Planning Division staff as part of the permit process This design review applies only to window openings that are visible from the street - usually just the front of the building and the visible parts of the sides. • Window replacements that are not visible still require a building permit. • For houses, apartments, and condominiums, staff uses the Draft Design Guidelines for Residential Window Replacement. Proposals that meet the Guidelines can be approved by staff “over the counter.” Any proposal that cannot be modified to meet the Draft Guidelines must be considered by the Design Review Board. Non-residential buildings are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. • Find the Draft Guidelines at: http://www.glendaleca.gov/planning/CounterForms/WindowReplacement/DraftWindowReplacementGuidelines.pdf • These guidelines do not apply to properties listed on the Glendale Register or located in designated historic districts - contact the Historic Preservation Planner at (818) 548-2140 for more information. • New windows must also meet specific energy efficiency guidelines (see page 3). Submittal Requirements • To get a building permit to replace windows, come to the Glendale Permit Services Center at the Glendale Municipal Services Building - 633 E.
